Thread: Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Leafs certainly are trading Liljgeren and his years of control for one year of Hanifan straight up, and you want to add? Timmins has hope, but shouldn't be slotted in as a regular next season replacing Liljigren. No thanks to Accaril at 3rd line centre.....fourth line winger is his spot. Lafferty never played centre for the Leafs, he's a winger too.</div></div>

Hanifin is a massive upgrade over liljegren. He is probably the top available D on the trade market and if you want 50% retention you have to over pay. That allows them to fill other holes in the lineup.

Acciari and laf are both capable of playing center. They both did with the teams they were on before the leafs. The only reason they didn’t last season is that we had matthews, Tavares, O’Reilly and kampf who were all better options down the middle. Can’t afford the raises that both oreilly and kampf are going to get.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojohawk</b></div><div>Every trade is rejected by the other team immediately. Productive 22 year old RHD on a reasonable contract don't get traded for wingers. 6 million dumps don't happen for 3 spots in the draft....even that part of the 1st. Hawks are not paying for Garland (they MIGHT take himf or free if part of something bigger they like). Bear isn't worth a 2nd, much less a 2nd when he won't be available until Dec/Jan.</div></div>

With the addition of Severson and Provorov CBJ is going to have to move a defencemen. It’s probably Boqvist or Bean. Flipping Boqvist gets you a top 6 ppg winger who’s only 26 (is team controlled for a few years on a good contract so you don’t risk losing him in FA). Strengthens the offence after they made moves to bolster the backend.

Moving up 3 spots and taking 1 year of 6 mil is a smart move. Pitt has the cap and Myers is a good defencemen just isn’t a top pairing guy. Play him lower down the lineup against better matchups and special teams. It’s a great trade for them. If he had more years I’d agree but it’s only one year and fills a need for Pitt with dumolin probably gone. Maybe add some retention but I don’t think it’s too far off.

I agree with the garland move. Maybe a bit to high of a pick but I think he’s a perfect target for them to play alongside Bedard. Still only 27, not a terrible contract (length or $ wise). Can play top 6 role/PP. they can also trade him with retention once his stock raises a bit.

Bear trade came with an extension and he’s a promising young d. Report just came out saying Arizona is targeting cap strapped teams to pick up young NHL talent. Figured he falls perfectly into that category.
